Over at TGIF this week, there is a color challenge – TGIFC306 and I chose to marry it up with theContinue reading “Twinkle, Twinkle – Moon Baby”

Just a Little Floral Note

Another dark and rainy day…perfect time to catch up a few outstanding personal projects.

Under My Umbrella – Showers of Flowers

Last week’s Sunday Sketch – SS041 got away from me as it is already Friday.  It is a great layout for a scene.  A week ago, a fellow Demonstrator made a card that caught my imagination and reminded me that I really like the stamp set she used and I was inspired to case herContinue reading “Under My Umbrella – Showers of Flowers”

To show you some of the new product available in the 2021 Spring Mini Catalog, today’s inspiration was a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches – FMS471 and a color combination from the Global Design Project – GDP277.

Blossoms in Bloom – Happy Birthday

Today I created a card for the Global Design Challenge – GDP272.  Case the Designer: Kerstin Kreis. My take away from Kerstin’s card is the use of subtle colors, blending, a side die-cut border and a circular element. I chose to use the Ornate Borders Dies for the side die-cut and Blushing Bride and SoftContinue reading “Blossoms in Bloom – Happy Birthday”
